Will never break into the top 40
#59 Traveling Wilburys "Handle With Care"
#64 Georgia Satellites "Hippy Hippy Shake"
#65 Alphaville "Forever Young"
#81 Starship "Wild Again"

This week's surprises.
#59 is a crime
#64 & #65 are shockers.
#81 I heard a lot in 1988.

 

[Channel98]

For goodness' sake, are you aware that The Hippy Hippy Shake is a remake of a 1964 hit by the Swinging Blue Jeans which was a remake of a 1959 hit written and recorded by 17-year-old rockabilly singer Robert Lee "Chan" Romero? This did not chart in the United States or the UK but reached #3 in Australia.
